Just received ASUS V6J

Yes!

My V6J just arrived, which I ordered from eWiz.com. Now I just have to send in that rebate.

Anyways, it's an awesome notebook. I love it. It's so light, stiff, and thin for the power it contains; it's far better than a few year old desktop I have... it's amazing how fast technology progresses. I plan to write a review of it for this site, but for now, I'll content myself with a brief description.

I was concerned about screen quality after going through the D620 experience with a grainy/sparkley/poor viewing angle screen, and the V6J just blows the D620 out of the water as far as screens go! There's just no comparison.

(The D620 is matte screen, while the V6J is glossy, and that makes comparison hard too, but I love this glossy screen.)

The notebook came with a little program that I double-clicked on to convert to NTFS. It didn't work, but I set it to run on next startup, and so now my file system is NTFS instead of FAT32.

The only "problem" I've had with the computer is the CD/DVD drive. I put in the "Halo" CD, which has worked on every other computer I've tried, and it started spazzing out. The Halo setup program started working, but when it got to the part where it was creating new directories, something went wrong, and so the Setup program "froze" and the CD drive made very loud and wierd clickings and hummings, starting, stopping, starting, stopping.... I thought it was some new Halo music at first, but then I realized it was the CD drive!!!

I tried this twice and both times it wouldn't stop and I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del my way out of it.

It works fine with music CDs and DVDs. And I love the ability to WRITE dual layer DVDs! WOW...

 

First of all, the Fat32 to NTSF happens when you're out of windows..... so it's impossible to actually work like you thought it might. When you restart it will do exactly what it's supposed to.

 

Good. Yeah, I may have phrased that incorrectly. It's not like the program malfunctioned, it's just that it couldn't do any converting.

 

How about do this way..... go to
1) start
2) run
3) type "cmd"
4) convert c: /fs:ntfs
5) restart the Windows
After that, the windows will automatically run the coverting from FAT32 to NTFS. After the converting, the windows will start again. All the steps will be finished. You can check the format of hd, it will show you NTFS after all.
